She was born March 3rd, 1961, in Alliance, Ohio, to parents Donald Grant and Jean (Hoff). Sandy graduated from Rootstown High School and Maplewood Career Center. She worked for 39 years for Portage County between the Auditors Office and Water Resources, retiring in 2018.
Sandy had an amazing personality and loved life. She always put family first while making many amazing memories with them. She always cherished life-long friendships that she held very dear to her. She loved being out in the sun by the water as much as she could, typically on Berlin Lake with her family and APBC friends. If the weather didn’t cooperate, you might find her winning big at the casino. She also enjoyed spending time competing with friends in her bowling leagues along with playing bocce at the Moose Club, where she is a lifetime member.
Sandy is survived by her husband of 39 years, Bob Donohue, who she married September 24, 1983, and their sons: David (Samantha) Donohue and Ryan (Andrea) Donohue. Her memory will also be cherished by her grandchildren: Ellie and Aida Donohue, her mom and step-father Jean and Fred Putnam, her sister Donna (John) Shessler, and her brother Otto (Jackie) Grant, along with many other loving extended family and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father and step-mother Donald and Bobbi Grant.
